About Us

England’s Heritage Cities is a partnership of destinations brought together by common product and interests. Its purpose is to exchange knowledge, find solutions to shared challenges, benchmark performance, raise the profile of England’s heritage product and facilitate joint activity, all with the intention of maximising the potential of the cities’ visitor economies.

The consortium works closely with a set of strategic partners including UK Inbound, T-stats and VisitBritain. In recent years the group has developed projects and delivered them with investment secured from the UK GREAT Challenge Fund and the Discover England Fund. These projects have enabled the group to forge new relationships with London and Partners, English Heritage and the Historic Houses Association.

This site is jointly produced by the Heritage Cities Group (the tourist authorities for Bath, Cambridge, Carlisle, Chester, Durham, Greenwich, Lancaster, Lincoln, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and York). It gives you ideas for planning a trip to all or a combination of our cities.
